Homeschooling

Homeschooling is the education of children primarily at home rather than in a conventional school, usually directed by parents or guardians.

Homeschool curriculum: A planned sequence of subjects, materials, and learning goals used to guide education at home. Curriculum choices determine what homeschooling covers and how learning is sequenced.
Home education: Education provided to children in the home rather than primarily in a formal school. Homeschooling is a modern form of the broader, longstanding practice of home education.
Homeschooling in the United States: The practice of educating children at home under laws and norms that vary across U.S. states. State-by-state rules make the American experience especially varied.
Public school: A school funded and administered by government, generally providing education without tuition. Public schools are the conventional state-funded alternative to homeschooling.
Socialization: The process through which people learn social norms, roles, and ways of interacting with others. Homeschooling raises questions about where children form peer relationships and social skills.
Unschooling: An approach to home education in which children’s interests and self-directed activity guide learning. It is a distinctive homeschooling approach with little or no fixed curriculum.
Compulsory education: Laws requiring children to receive education, often through school attendance or approved alternatives. Compulsory schooling laws shaped the legal space in which homeschooling developed.
Homeschooling in the United Kingdom: The education of children at home under the distinct legal frameworks of the United Kingdom’s nations. Its legal duties differ from the state-based system in the United States.
Private school: A school funded primarily through tuition or private sources rather than government operation. Private schools offer a non-government school setting, unlike education directed at home.
Educational attainment: The highest level of education a person completes, often measured by credentials or qualifications. Research examines how homeschooling relates to later educational outcomes.
